It does look better than the official ones and it helped me figure out what bothers me most about the footage shown so far: Taylor Kitsch’s off-mark, over-acted performance (most of the scenes are really cringeworthy), and the cartoony design of the creatures. The CGI is top-notch, but what it depicts isn’t. The Tharks all look like Dori from Finding Nemo and Woola like the creature from Evolution. I’m just not sold on their being real. Oh, and the children-friendly humor, but that’s another story.

But thanks for trying to get my enthusiasm up, although I’m probably a lost cause at this point.

I find this trailer a lot better than the other ones, although probably only because it contained fewer goofy designs, no cheesy jumping, no cliched dialogue, and bad acting was down to a minimum, even countered very nicely by Mark Strong. For once the battle scenes looked actually impressive. If only the whole movie was like that…

I’m starting to thik this might be like XMO: Wolverine for me (in which, nomen omen, Kitsch was also present) – I would’ve loved the movie if only there had been a mute option at the cinema.
